There are rules requiring toy guns to be conspicuously non-gunlike. If you want to threaten somebody, a .44 magnum looks scary and does the job. If you want to shoot somebody, a pink toylike weapon looks harmless and could gain you a half second advantage.

How many gangsters are gonna use a pink gun? Im gonna use this as a selling point! Alot of women do buy pink guns, and hey, why not? I might give you a split second of extra reaction time to get off a shot. It is not like this guy is gonna go try to flip this to his thug buddies... think of the street cred he would lose.

I would consider that device a serious threat despite its colouration and decoration, as the presence of a pistol grip identifies it as a deadly semi-automatic assault weapon.

Again for the slow.. Assault weapons have to have two identifying features and be capable of BOTH semi and automatic fire via a selector lever. otherwise they are a look alike plain Jane semi automatic rifle. Now whether the average Joe needs one at home is an entirely different story. By their design they suck for hunting(longer barrels make for more accurate shots).Id say fully trained people only should have access and honestly if you suck at shooting bad enough to need full auto, which any trained person knows you don't use, (bursts are far more accurate) or you need a 50 round magazine you really have to suck balls at shooting and during the uprising/zombie apocalypse I invite you to please stay the fark away from me.
